Durrcnt Events und Opinions. The Canadian Pacific Railway will bo opened through to the Pacific by tho end of tho present year, and no doubt a line of steamships plying between Burrard Inlet and China and Japan will soon he forthcoming. If vessols running out of San .Francisco can bo mndo to pay, thore is no good reason why a profitable carrying trade should not be dono out of Vancouver (tho new name for Coal Harbor) and Victoria, in view of the fact that tho San Franoisco routo is the longer of the two by threo days, and that tho California vessels aro largely dependent on British Columbia coal. Tlm establishment of a Canadian steamship line in these waters pro- supposes tho existence of a Canadian trade with China and Japan. At present, however, our trade is of very slender proportions, Last year British Oolumbia sent China eight thousand dollars' worth of fish, aud lumber of tho value of $51,000, and the wholo Dominion imported from China goods of the value of $970,000, tho imports from Japan boing $936,000. It is evident, howevor, that the opening of direct rail and water communication with thoso countrios will enable our merchants and manufacturers to increase their trndo with them, Tho Americans send to China, besides cotton and other manufactured articles, largo quantities of Hour, cheese, canned goods, lumber, and lish, in whieh we are woll able to compete. Tho matter is worth the attention of tlio boards of trade.— Toronto Mail. Michael G. Mulhall, the welt- known Knglish statistician, lias lately been making a close study of tho debts of nations from the treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, down to the present timo. The total of the national debts of the world in 1713, not estimating local debts of any kind, footed up §995,000,000. In 1884 thoy aggregated $27,15fi,000I- 000. Thc greatest part of this enormous increase has taken place since 1848, for at that date the amount of national dobts was $8,245,000,- 000. In 1870 it had reached $19,- 150,000,000. From tliis rate of increase Mr, Mulhall estimates that in 1900 tho dobts will aggregate §35,000,000,000. He deems this no ground for grave concern, because since 1848 the increaso of wealth in Europe has been four and one-half times greater than' the growtli of debt, nnd he argues that Europe will bo relatively richer in 1900.than now. Tho same is likely to hold good in a greater degreo of tlio United States and somo other countries. The natural assumption on first glancing at these figures is that they mainly represent war expenditures, and consequently a certain destruction of wealth to mako up which the nations are struggling; but an examination of the items of expenditure show this viow to be only partially correct. A largo portion of the amount may be considered in the light of an investment in property. From 1848 to 1884 tho debts rose nearly $19,000,000,- 000, of which §190,000,000 was expended in lighthouses and harbors, $3,600,000,000 on roads and bridges, and $4,350,000,000 on railways and telegraphs, all of which may be deemed permanent, valuable and, directly or indirectly, productive property, To this may he added Other largo expenditures for peaceful purposes, wliich represent outlay an behalf business and social objects winch inure to tho public welfare, and bring up tlio total amount to about §10,000,000,000. War expenditures during the same period aggregate about 89,000,000,000, and of tlio existing debts it is believed that about GO per cent, stands for wnr payments and and 40 per cent, for reproductive works, The remarkably rapid increase of debt since 1848 is easily explainable. That date marks an epoch in national economy. Tho political convulsions all over Europe, the moro rapid introduction of railways, tho gold discoveries of California and Australia, tho abolition of serfdom and slavory in various countries, the heavy emigration to the United States and the Uritish Colonies, tho extern-ion of trade and development of means of communication, the spread of popular education and tho progress made in the arts of pence mid war, gave a great impe >is to humuu alt'airs, and in tending to tho rapid augmontntiou of wealth, also induced an increased assumption of public obligations. It is gratifying to know that these obligations aro of Into years moro do- voted to productive thnn destructive purposes, and if tlie gain in tliis direction continues it will, in n men- The British Columbian. VOLUME 28 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0„ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1885 NUMBER 31 sure, reconcile economists to tho probable increase of debt predicted, Mr. Mulhall draws four conclusions from his study of this subject, namely : That national debts are not to be viewed with such horror as our grandfathers entertained regarding them • tliat they offer a convenient mode of investment for Britisli capital, and aro generally secure; that the increase of debt in Europe has not hurt the ;working classes, and that we may expect to seo national debts increase at least $100,000,000 a year during the remainder of the nineteenth century. Some of theso conclusions aro so evidently British in character that a little examination may cist doubt upon their soundness. Truo, tliese national loans are a convenient investment for British capital, but is the welfare of the nations promoted by indebtedness to British bondholders 1 With strong nations there is simply a drain of their wealth to British pockets; with weak ones there is an accumulation of debt and interest, crushing the energies of the people, repudiation, revolt, British ironclads to the front, nud the imposition of British taxgathnr- ors to skin the country for the payment of interest and sinking fund. These are blessings more appreciated by the British creditor thnn by the foreign debtor, and can hardly be deemed an argument in favor of national debts. As to the effect of the national debts upon lhe welfare of the working classes, something may be drawn from Mr. Mulhall' figures to oppose Ins conclusions. In a table of the rutio.'of debt lo wealth we find that in the United States it is only 2.9j in Germany 5.2; United Kingdom 8.4; Franco 11.9. Contrast with these figure . Russia 12.2; Italy 18.5; Spain 20.8; Portugal 28.5. While tliese statements cannot be deemed conclusive, they seem to indicate somo connection between national indebtedness and tho welfare of the masses, and public prosperity seems measurably parallel with light indebtedness. It is truo that Australia, which is a pretty good "poor man's country," shows a ratio equal to that of It V, but that does not necessarily conflict with tho hypothesis. The government of Australia owns the railroads, and other great public works, as an ofl'set to the debts created for their construction. That country has great undeveloped resources and potential wealth, whieh have encouraged a liberal uso of credit; but tho productiveness of labor in a new country like Australia will enable her to carry and discharge a ratio of obligations which would crush an ovcrpopulated aud enfeebled nation. Aside from any proof furnished by figures, it is diflicult to persuade any man that his situation is bettered by being in debt, and what is true of individuals is equally truo of communities. The lenst objectionable national debt is oue held at home, though thut tends to concentration of wealth in few hands; but where held abroad it enriches the creditor at the expense of tho debtor nation. The former will encourage its incurrence to the extent of the debtor's ability to pay, holding the country responsible for its ultimate discharge, aud well knowing that credit is a constant temptation to extravagance. This has been the policy iu England, which influences all her theories of political economy. It holds hor to free trade, to tho gold standard, and to tlio doctrine of national debt, because these all put money in her pocket nud make her the world's creditor. Our interests are different, and in view of that fact it is unwise for us to be guided by English theories in deciding upon our national economy.—-V. F, Bulletin, A Itcnl Grievance. In addressing tho grand jury at •Scuttle on the 5th inst., Chief Justice Grocno summed up the Chinese grievance under the following live bunds; 1st—-Under-competitive cheapness of Chinese labor. This in owing lo irreducible differences betwoen Chinese uud American modes of living. It secures to tliu Chinese nn exclusive monopoly uf labor mipply, to whatever extent the demand fnr such labor as they funiisli cnu bu absorbed. 2nd — Alienage of Chinese labor, This proven tn thnt geoiiietrio increaso in citizen population, wliich would follow tho influx of white tabor. 8rd—Export of tbu earnings of the Chinese. This puts their labor nu the footing of a foreign import, makes'us iu a seusu tributary to China, nnd prevents thut geometric incronso iu wealth which would follow tlio expenditure ami j oiipltnli&ntion of their unriiiiigs here. t4Hi—Padding out the population with the Chinese element, which bus to be protected, but which is unavnil- ablo for proteotmg, whether against enemies foreign of domestic. 6th—Race nnd cIiibs irritation, which is a perpetual menace to social ordor, and iiuciviHttiitcs cither nn abnormally exptuiao civil survice, or novor ending liability to riot, un insecurity to properly and life, and nuw and then a paroxysmal exaggeration of judicial uxpenaus.

At a meeting of Irishmen held in New York on tlie Sth inst. it was resolved to send 50 representative Irishmen from the United States to Ireland to assist in canvassing for the approaching elections. A list is given containing tlie names of the persons whom it is proposed to send on this mission. Among them are 5 priests, 7 persons who prefix "Hon," to their names, 2 judges, 2 doctors, and 2 generals. Tt seems a strango proposal to send these peoplo for legitimate canvassing, that is, to enlighten the people of Ireland upon their own grievances. A despatch comes from the Irish patriots beyond the Atlantic, however, saying it's not mon they want, but money; and that American Irishmen will be kind enough to send their money and not themselves. Probably the New York project will be abandoned and the Irish suggestion adopted. Indeed, when theso American canvassers reached Ireland it might be a matter of some doubt under which wing of tho party they should work. C. P. H. Inspection. If the Kamloops Sentinel correctly states the circumstances under which Mr. Collingwood Schrieber made his late inspection of the 0, P. R., the inspection must be almost worthless. It is stated that Mr. Schrieber and his party passed over the tirst 95 miles in less than (I.1, hours, nnd nearly two hours of that time were after darkness had set in. The 90 miles between Kamloops and the narrows were passed over between 3:30 and 8 p. m., about 4A hours, of which nearly two were after dark. If it be true that Mr. Schrieber's inspection is the final and. official one, and that his report will be tlie authority upon which the Dominion government will accept or reject the road, this hasty flight over the rails is extremely un* fortunate. It is known generally that there is in this province an opinion prevailing extensively that the vatxtl h-ic* nnt. Loo.-, finiolifld in such a way as to inspire public confidence, aiul it was hoped that the final inspection would be of such a thorough character as to reassure the people. This hope dees not seem to have been realized. When Mr. Schrieber went over the road about a year ngo, ostensibly to inspect it, people were greatly surprised at the extraordinary haste with whieh he performed the operation; and our Kamloops cotempor- nry's statement makes it appear that the lato inspection was no bettor. Thc C. P, R, track has only once been inspected with any thoroughness, and that inspection was made over a month ago by Mr, Peterson on behalf o£ the syndicate. But Mr, Peterson took as many weeks to his work as the days consumed by Mr, Schrieber. The Governor's Visit. We are assured that the circumstance of liis excellency the governor-general passing by this city without stopping on his way to Viotoria was a part of the programme arranged for him, and it was not supposed that it would bo regarded as a slight. No one, we presume, ever thought of doubting his excellency's good intentions, or his desire to give every person with in reach an opportunity of taking part in tho general welcome with which he has been received everywhere throughout the province. Ilut the people of this city and adjacent settlements were certainly surprised that the regular route of travel, which loaves thc railway at Port Hammond and takes the water from there to Victoria, should have been abandoned on this occasion, and that his excellency sbould have passed within five miles of the city without so much as intimating whethor he intended to return this way or not. It seems that the programme arranged for him was to go first to the capital and take the rest of the cities on his return, nntl that it was thought best to go down Burrard Inlet and return by the Fraser. If any intimation of those arrangements had been given it would have prevented misapprehensions which might havo been very embarrassing, Accepting without question the good intentions of his excellency, we hope tho citizens will give him a loyal and hearty welcome to the Royal Oity. It was not until Friday afternoon that any intimation at all of his coming was received, and the preparations for An Unjust Statement. Among other addresses presented to his excellency the governor-general at Victoria was one from the Board of Trade. This address deals with several matters of public interest, but thero is one paragraph referring to the fish hatchery against which we must enter a public protest. The paragraph is as follows: The importance of fostering and protecting a great staple industry of the province, viz,: salmon fishing and packing, must have occurred to your excellency on your passage through the main- loud of British Columbia; and thia hoard feels that it cannot too earnestly direct the attention of your excellency's constitutional advisers to the condition of the recently established government hatchery on thc Coquitlam river; and would suggest un early reform in the method of operating that institution. It is not long since we had occasion to refer to the action of the Victoria Board of Trade in connection with this very matter. From tho published report of tho annual meeting it seemed that tho board forwarded to Ottawa a memorial calling attention to the unsatisfactory condition and management of the fish hatchery, and the statement of this fact was made in such a way as to leave an impression that the management of the hatchery was bad. We took occasion to examine the affidavits and other evidence taken by the inspector of fisheries, nnd found that every important statement made in the original charge had been flatly contradicted by tho persons best able to give evidence. Tiie Victoria Board of Trade could scarcely have been ignorant of the investigation that was made into the management of the hatchery, and it is greatly to be regretted that it should repeat to his excellency au insinuation that had no foundation. So ignorant is the board concerning the hatchery that it does not even know where it is located. The hatchery is eot on tho Ooquitlam River, but on an entirely different stream which enters the Fraser on the opposite shore! The inaccuracy as to locution is comparatively a small matter, but the reflection upon Mr. Mowat, under whose immediate superintendence the hatchery has been constructed and operated, is much more serious. When his excellency reaches Ottawa be will find, if l-tr-cippues to iiicdviJiit-tiicuttjC naileries, that the complaint referred lo by the Victoria Board of Trade was investigated and that thc department is perfectly satisfied with the management of the hatchery— nnd the result of this enquiry was kpown to the board before it presented its address to his excellency, Such glaring inaccuracy on tbe part of the Victoria Board of Trad' must do much to destroy the force of every representation it has madt In the first place it appears under a name it has no right to retain, because it is nothing more than a local organization; in the seconi place it meddles with matters beyond its sphere, and makes statements concerning them whicli ollicial documents flatly contradict, and persists in misrepresentation after its attention has been publicly called to the facts.

The explorations of Mr. Amos Bowman, of the Canadian Geological Survey, have been closed for thu suason. Thusu explorations in British Columbia wure undertaken conjointly by tho federal and provincial governments. Mr. Tuck, O.K., who formed one of tho party, was in Victoria tho other day and gave the Colonist A statement of the season's operations. Starting from Qiii'Bnot trno uth a careful lraverso of the Cariboo wagon rond was made tn Barkerville, and the various claims on Lightning creek located and ox- aminetl. William*- creek was also traversed, and so fur as possiblu all the .old and workod-out claims upon it were located, as wull us the hydraulic claims which are now being worked, From Barkerville tho party worked to Grouse oreek, and up that creek us far us thu former alto of Bonne's sawmill, and down to the Wnvrrley Company's claim, which was not being worked bc- catisu of the scarcity of water, but of which grout hopes are entertained, From Grouse creek tho trail wait trav ersed to Antler creek, up which the traverse was continued to Sawmill Flat, passing the well known Nason claim, now iu chargo of Mr. George Cowan, M.P.P,, from which it is confidently expected remunerative returns will sioii bo mado to those interested. PROM SAWSIILL FLAT thu traverse was extended to the Snow Shoo creek and its branches, and thenco to Keithley creek which was surveyed to Veith, Borland & Co.'b ranch. From this point a survey was made to the north branch of tho Quesnello river whicli was traversed to the Forks of tho Quesnelle, wliero thero is n large Chineso settlement. Prospecting has again begun here, and hopes aro sunguinely entertained that it will bu successful. Returning to Keithley creek traverses were made thenee along Caribou laku to Harvey creek, which wsb purveyed and claims located, upon which a large amount of money and labor had beun expended without, as yot, any adequate return. From Harvey crock thu mountain was crossed to Cunningham creek which was also traversed, and theuco through Cunningham pass to Antler creek again, passing by tbu Yellow river claim which was being worked with fair pay. Mo3f|uito creek, whore a largo quantity of work has been done, and is being done, Cornish creek, Porcupine creek, Hardscrnbble and Sugar creek were visited iu turn, and connect ud by carefully made surveys. Mount Agnes, Yank's Peak, Keithley mountain, tho Sisters, Mount Anderson and Bald mountain were ascended and accurate topographical sketches made from each, with transit chronometer aud level. TILE QVAItmi IiBDGBS on Keithley mountain were examined during the trip to its aummit, nnd afterwards those on Burns' mountain, together with thu workings at that point. A visit was also mado to the Quesnelle Quartz Mining Company's claim ou Hilton creek, for which now machinery is now boing sent forward from Spenco's Bridge, and experienced minors havo boon engaged to conduct tho mining and milling of the ore, Tho Lillnoet-Cariboo wagon road has also beon travel-Bed from Quesnelle north to Soda creek, uud theuce to tlie 250- mile post, to connect with tho system of surveyed lands in tho southern part of the province. A reconnoisuncc was also mado with a viow to u railway from Bridgo creek by way of the old brigade trail to Green lake and tho Bonaparte river, and thonee down the Bonaparte to Mundorf's, un tho Yalc- Clintoii wagon road. Another reoon- uoissiince is also being made from the 150-mile post lo the forks of Quesnelle. and down the Quesnelle river to its mouth. Of courso, tho wurk wliich has heen done this year is largely preliminary, but a large amount of material and information hns been collected, which it is hoped nud expected will bo useful whon properly collected and published ill the form of maps and reports. Tho party has hnd an unusually favorable season for it3 work, and warmly appreciates tho kindness aud hospitality which it received everywhere in the Cariboo district.

Eiutor Columiuan.—Iii glancing over tho columns of Thk Columbian I observe that tliere are lively times in Yale caused by a crowd ot drunken men prowling the streets. If reports aro true Yulii is uot the only place where such a state of things exists. A few days ago two ladies visited I'ort Haney where three drunken scoundrels molested them, and before leaving for their homes they were obliged to secure the services of a gentleman to accompany them Bomo half a mile out of the place. Another man, we are informed, was found lying dead drunk upon tho railroad and wos only pulled off just beforo the arrival of the train. Stilt anothor in a drunken frenzy threw himself over the wharf into the rivor, and hut for the timely aid of those present must have been drowned. If things go on like this at Port Haney, where there is no house licensed to soil whisky, what elso can wo expect in a little town like Yale with its dozen or more licensed grogshops!

Kim-oil Columiuan.—As I hnvo noticed from timu to time in your paper reference made to the illegal sale of liquor at Chilliwhack, allow me to relate my experience. On Tucsduy last tnysolf, in company with my wife, attended the Fair at Chilliwhack. We pul uu nl Lhu Da licit Hmtoo, We were met ut tlie door by Mr. Barlett, thu former proprietor of the house, uml were told that it wus bring run hy Mr. Innes, Ids Hon-iu-hiw; but Mr. Barlett ordered our teams put out, and assured us that all puins woultl he taken to mako our stay with them n comfortable one, Wo wore assigned ton room by Mr. Barlett, wliich happened to ho directly ovor tlie hur room, livery thing passed off pleasantly during tlio duy, only I noticed that there was some* kind of business being transacted in the room beneath our mom with darkened windows ami miller lock and key. 1 haw several parties of men colloofc around the door of that mysterious room, who woultl be ntluiittcit, ami the door locked again. But the first light 1 received of what wns going on iiisido was while standing Oh the walk in front, when the bar-tender motioned to me, then asked mc to take u drink, which invitation I declined. After spending a pleasant day nt the fair grounds, where everything spoko woll Inr tlio thriving settlors of Chilliwhack, my wife and I retired to that littlo upper room over tho bar. After retiring wo noticed that the noise in the room below wns increasing. As a storm-cloud slowly riaift and finally breaks forth in all its fury, so tho Btorm thut was browing in the room below broke forth about midnight In all its vulgarity and drunkenness, I have been in the mining towns of California and in the principal cities of the United States, but it nover wus my lot to listen to such a drunken carousal beforo; and I think that it has but seldom fallen to the lot of a woman to bo so insulted as to be compelled to listen to Biieh profanity nml vulgarity ns my wife wus compelled to listen to thnt night. About ono o'olock thc crowd wore engaged hi a general fight. It .sounded as if twenty men ut least were engaged in it. Several revolvers were drawn, but none discharged. Finally the must violent one was put out of tho liOiisc, nnd the others made tlie night hideous with their yells. We arose ami dressed, and endeavored to make our escape; but as the hall through which we would be compelled to pass and the walk outside were crowded with drunken men, I deemed it unsafe to take my wife from the room and decided to stay until the light of day. At one time %ve saw five drunken men stretched out on tlie walk in front. Wo saw one man, nfter boing put out, try to gain un entrance hy the window. The bar-tender camo out, knocked liim down and kicked him. Mr. Kditor, we not only saw the outside and heart! the noise, hut wo actually saw the inside of the lion's den. There has been a Btove-pipo at somo time leading through the room used as bar-room, and the room occupied hy us, nntl through thc hole in the floor we saw the bar, and saw drinks being dealt out to men who seemed to be getting more drunk with every glass they took. As soon as light appeared wc paid our bill (no deduction was mado on account of the sleepless night we had spout) and took our departure without breakfast. At the head of the stairs as we came down, a door was open and we saw five drunken men stretched out, one with clothes aud boots on. When we reached home we remarked, twenty miles is not too far to live from Chilliwhack. O. B. AokERMiN. Upper Sumas, Oct. 5:1835. Battery"0." Editor Colombian.—That noble patriot (?) the editor of the Victoria Colonist, 1 observe, is again crying out for some more public money to be expended in Victoria, to the detriment of the rest of the province—and to show you how liberal ho is, he calls you, because you don't agree with hiin, "our intensely sectional cotemporary," This sounds very much like "cheek," coming from a newspaper who advised the voters of Victoria not to vote for Williams at the last election because he owned a few acres of land on the Fruser. But that is nothing compared to tho impudence shown by the patriot in dictating to the military authorities wliere "C" Battery Bhould he stationed. But, Mr. Kditor, he is a true type of the city he lives in: all they want is public money expended in Victoria, and the rest of thc province may starve if only the Victoria pelican gets the grub. This is easily proved hy reading the reports of the last war meeting held in Victoria. What did all tho blood and thunder end in ? Simply resolutions to the Imperial antl Dominion governments calling upon thein to spend money for the defence of Victoria—not a word about any other place; and altho.lgh the Victorians were ready (at the meeting) to eat any amount of Russians, the notorious fact remains that not one man enlisted to fill up the vacancies in the ranks or work the guns in the batteries that had already been built by the Dominion government, at considerable expense. Tliis is patriotism for you. But I would like to nsk the great military editor a few questions: Supposing "C" Buttery is located in Victoria, what is it going to do when the enemy slips past Victoria in the dark (and there is twenty miles wide to do it in), or comes down thiough Seymour narrows, attacks Nanaimo and drops a few pounds of gun- cotton down the shafts of tiie coal mines? What is "C" Battery going to do when the enemy attacks the terminus of the C. 1\ R. at Burrard Inlet ? What is "C" Battery going to do if the enemy cIioobos to steam up tho Kruser and take the terminus in (lank ? Whnt is "C" Battery going to do when the enemy lays off Cadboro hay and takes the Victoria batteries iu thc rear, or fires at Esquimalt from Saanich arm? And last, but nut least, what is the Battery going to live upon if it gets blockaded un thc corner of Vancouver Linnd, and where is it going to get its supplies from iu theeventof war? No my dear pelican, you just remain as quiet as possible and try and not draw the enemy's tire, or you may find the city you live in, aud which it is impossible to defend by shore batteries, blown up and wiped out of existence aud your strageti- cal point nowhere. Get theo to ALhcriii; no, get thee to Alexandra, and examine the effects of shot upon shore batteries, so that thy mind may be expanded and not as contracted as the little point of soil thou livest upon, and thou wilt not bo put down in the category with that "fossilized Jack ashore" who represents you at Ottawa antl who stated at your public meeting that he had great difficulty in mnking the people east believe that the rock he lives upon was the centre of the province. And when you get hungry, my dear pelican, we will send you from tho mainland the wherewithal to feed upon as heretofore. And nbove all, read the modern military reports upon this question (militia report, 1884), and thou will sec that the most important strugeticnl point in B. C. is Burrard Inlet, with the sea iu front, an impregnable hnrbor 14 miles long ns a place of refuge for merchant ships, and the C. P. B. in tho rear to bring supplies and munitions of war; while at Bed well buy in the North arm, 10 miles up the inlet, can be built an unapproachable conl tie- pot, arsenal and dockyard which can neither be seen or shelled and which cau he made a second Gibraltar, And above all, my dear pelican, persuade the city of Victoria to discard its present coat of urins, which is: a hnnd iu n grab-bag, with the motto, "Oh, thnt the government would tie something for us!'

London, Oct. 12,—The Standunl's Berlin correspondent says Germany, with tho approval of Austria. Russia und England, has proposed a plan for the settlement of the Bulgarian question, the following principles to be observed: (1) that the Greek anil Servian demands be rejected; (2) that Turkey be advised to complete hor military preparations so as to he ready to interfere m the event of Greece and Scrvia moving to enforce their demands; lastly, that the union of Bulgaria and Koumelia under Prince Alexander, the latter avowing the sovereignty of the Sultan, be recognized. Athens, Oct. 12,-—Demonstrations in favor of war aro being held throughout Greece. The army is being rapidly mobilized. The king has called out the reserves to the number of 40,000 men. Belgrade, Oct. 12—The war fever runs high in Scrvia, and active preparations are going on to enforce Soma's demand for extension of territory. English, French and Austrian firms have been tendered contracts by the government to -.apply complete outfits for 25,000 troops, and all contracts have been allotted; also, one for 35,000 horses. The Larder Bank war loan has been raised to $7,000,- 000. Brussels, Oct. 12.—Mr. Gladstone has written to La Vilcyo, a well known writer on political economy, as follows: "I favor Bulgarian union, but trust its territory will not exceed its present limit because I fear disastrous competitions between themselves nnd also by the Helenio and Slavic races for the extension of territory. I express myself on the question with reserve because my iniud is perplexed by the many difficulties surrounding it. I see thut Bulgarian union, excellent in itself, may produce immeasurable results. A Speedy Cure.—As a speedy cure for Dysentery, Cholera Morbus, Diarrluea, Colic, Cramps, Sick Stomach, Canker of thc Stomach and Bowels, and all forms of Summer Complaints, there is no remedy more reliable than Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.

His London lawyer,, Frances Henry Jeunc, immediately on*-opening of tiie court asked for a postponement until the nrrival of Mr, Fitzpatrick, Kiel's Canadian counsel, who was bringing with him important documents respecting the matter. Webster, attorney - general, opposed the request. The court, however, agreed to postpone the case until the 21st. The court room wus crowded, but there was no excitement. Comstantihople, Oct.

Flood Rock Explosion. 280 000 LBS, OF DYNAMITE EXPLODED I New York, Oct. 10.-Tfie 280,000 pounds of dynamite under the Flood Hock, in Hell Gato, has just been exploded. Tho shock was plainly felt at the lower end of Manhattan Island. In order to protect life and proporty i.t tho Flood Rock explosion to-day, the most careful and adequate police arrangements wero perfected. A force of 450 policemen, in addition to the harbor police, wero detailed to the scene of action, 30of whom wero located on the East river front. Black- well's Islnnd contained 100 meu, while 60 were on duty nt Ward's Island. All tho buildings on tho north end of Black well's Island wore cleared of their inmates, including the Almshouse, Workhouse and Lunatic Asylum, who were massed on tiie lawns nt a safe distance from thu explosion, aud carefully guarded. In the Penitentiary tho cell doors were thrown open and the prisoners conducted tu tho halls of tho prison, whicli was surrounded by tho police, while jl lnrge farco was stationed among iho convicte to prevent riot or escape, und give aid in case it was found ntJcessitry to reach the building. All points nu tho shore from whieh the Flood Ruck could bo seen wore densely packnd with poople. The police were kept busy iu keeping tho crowd outside of thu danger line. Ropes had boeir stretched across the river above and below the place of tho explosion ami launches from the navy vurd patrolled the river tu the sea. No vessels attempted tu pass through. The bell in the tower of St. Ann's school building struck tho hour of 11 aud fifty thousand peoplo waited expectantly for tho explosion, which was advertised to bu on hand at that hour, but at thnt moment there woro still a number of people on tho Flood Rock. A fetf moments later, howover, took them off, nud then the spectators braced themselves for tho expected shock. Ladies and gentlemen in carriages stood upon cushions and leveled their opera glasses towards the island. A hushed oxpcclnucy tell upon tho vast crowd, who seemed almost afraid to breathe for fear the net would disturb their view of (he explosion should it occur at that moment. The rivor in tho Vicinity of the Flood Rock and Hallett's point was now clear of vessels. At a respectful distance, however, sooros of excursion steamers, tlieir ducks black with people, yachts, tugs and even sound liners, waited for the pressing of tho electric button. At precisely 11:18 o'clock the oarth trembled und the bosom of the rivor was pierced with a mighty upheaval of rocks and timbers. Up went the glittering masses of water until it seemed as if they would never stop, At a height of 200 foot the uplifted waters paused and felt back again to tho river, At this moment, when the air for hundreds of feet in ench direction was filled with whito masses of sparkling water, thc spectacle wus grand beyond expression. Mary Newton, 11 year* old, daughter of Gen. Newton, who, ns Chief Engineer has conducted operations at Hell Gate since the alurtj touched the button that net free iho electric current that exploded the nub- marine mines nud shuttered the mountain of rock, lifting it. out of the bosom of the sea and crushing it into a million of fragments. It was little Mary Newton, who wheu u mere babe touched off the (irst Hell Gate explosion, a fow feet from the point from where nho stood to-day. The shock of the collapse was felt only slightly on the Astoria shore, and the noise resembled a far distant subterranean thunder. When the Flood Rock hud lifted its strong bluck mass, broken wreck was seen on tho top of it. All thu big derrick that had been left to its fate turned over on its side and broke. A huge tank that had been left at the north end of tho island still stood in its place, tilted over a littlo as il had settled when let down by the angry waters from i's aerial flight. Immediately after the explosion a fire broke out on the wreck, ami burned lustily amidst thu seething water. Four instantaneous photos wore tuken hy officers of tho corps uf engineers, from thu thing point at Astoria. As far as it was poatible to judge from tho position and appear- iincu of tliu wreck thu explosion haa been an entire success, though for the present thu vicinity of Blaster Rock will be even moro dangerous than heretofore, until the wreck has been removed. Tbe shock was fell to a slight extent in the City Hall building, which structure trembled for n space of a few seconds. At tho County Court House the shuck was nlso distinctly felt in the upper part of tho building tho floor Blinking and windows trembling, ^ Syrup of Figs, Manufactured only by the California Fig Syrup Co., Sau Francisco, Cal,, is Nature's Own True Laxative.

"It's ratjier u curious fact," aaid a gentleman nnd unprofessional prc3tid- igltdlour, "that nono of tho chows and circuses that uso so many adjectives in describing what they liavo got bring to this country a really fine troupe of magicians, t may bo possible that thoy will ?L come, but it certainly would bo a paying investment, as the peoplo u tho United States havo no adequate idea of the tricks thut are executed by some of the jugglers of tho oast. "Tho finest exhibition I ever witnessed, " continued the speaker, "was in Anam. I wns traveling through the country with a party of German oiii- cials, whon wo stopped one night at au inn where it chunead that n number of magicians woro resting. Thoro were six of them, four mon and two women, all very small, excopt ono, who was a fleshy giant, resembling tlio typical wrestlers. I booh mado their acquaintance, us I was then greatly interested in legerdemain, und soon won thoir good will. Thoy wero very eager for mo to show them an exhibition of my skill. I did so, but in overy caso they caught ino and laughed at my eftbrts, excepting once. Though I tried sine of our best tricks upon them, curiously enough, the most stupid thing of ull fooled them. It wub tho old "Pharaoh's serpents" trick, which wus so much in voguu somo yenrs ago. "After I had finished my exhibition the doors weru closed, und only those admitted who paid u regular admittance foe—a small sum—and soon the apartment being tilled the magicians began their performance. Tho audience sat on the tioor about the fakirs, so that they had no wuy of concealing themselves or of hiding anything. At their request T examined thom uml satisfied myself that thoy had nothing about them. Then one uf the women stepped into the inch-sure, the rest remaining behind the spectutors, who formed a close ring around them. Tho light was now turned down a littlo, nnd in a moment tho woman's face begun to be illumined by a.ghostly light that extended quickly over her ontiro body. She then begun to move round and round, uttering a low, murmuring sound the whilo, gradually quickening tho pace until she wns whirling about liko a top. "A moment of this and tho light that had clung ubout her seemed to bo whirled n(F by centrifugal force, nnd assumed a pillar-like form besidu her. As soon as this was accomplished sho stopped, turned, and begun to mold the light with her hunds, and though I could distinctly seo her hands move through the light us if it were a cloud, it began to assume human form. Wo saw the arms, hands and legs all molded, and finally a face and headgear. Sho next called for a light, and, the candles being relighted thero stood an utter stranger, n native seemingly evolved out of cloudlnnd. He stepped forward and grasped mo Ity the hand; his hands were moist, ns if with perspiration, and ho wns a vory healthy spirit. After ho hud talked and drank a glass of rack, he took his place beside the woman ai/nin und began to whirl nbout. "The lights were dimmed, but not so thut wu oould not seo, nnd in a few momenta the figure begun to fade, soon assuming the nppcarance of a pillar or form of light nnd then attaching itself to the woman and seemingly being absorbed by hor. All this wus dune in a very short space of time, bofore the eyes of at least fifty people, nnd not ten foot from myself. The girl appeared greatly exhausted after- wnrd. Now this would bo explained by tho Psychological Society us some new sense or power, etc., but betweon you and I, who know that all things can be explained by cold fncts, it was merely a clever trick, so skillfully done that 1 did not discover it in nny way or shape. "The man next took his placo in thc ring, nnd, handing mo a large, highly ornamented sabre, he snid: 'In fivo minutes by the clock I wish yuu to behead mo.; I objected, of course, hut ho insisted, and said it hud boon dono a dozen times, so I finally agreed. Ho wus searched, and in tho dim light began to contort himself iu strange position n'H he seemed to grow perceptibly ainaJier, und'finally stood boforo us so gauzy that I thought I could see right through him. It was now five minutes, su 1 took the sabro and struck ii light blow, only sufficient tu knock a man ovor, when, to my horror, the blood spurted into my fnce und the head dropped with u thud upon tho floor. As soon us it fell the body Btoopod und picked it up, hold it in tlio uir, then placed it upon tho shoulders. The full light being turned on, there stood the giant, grinning and warm. "Tho blood? That hnd faded awny by the time the light was turned np, and, you must romombor, thut in all this though the light wos dim it was not sufficient to prevent our seeing every thing, and scorned to be used only that wo might observe the figures of lights thut wero evolved so curiously from tho mediums, as our spiritualists would call them. "Tho next trial was equally mystical. All tho party now stepped into tho ring and began to chant und move about. In a few minutes they ceased nnd we observed thnt one was missiii; though no one saw him go. A moment after tho whirling wns repented nnd another wns found to hnve disappeared, and so on until in fifteen minutes only tho ginnt was seen. More light being givon us, a noise was heard at tho door, and, upon somo ono going to it, there stood tho mystic five clamoring for admission. Thut ended tlio performance for the night and I sat up the rest of it, or well into tlio morn- ing, trying to figure out how it wns all dono. The natives accepted it ns magic without debate, and I bognn tu think that was about tho easiest wny nut of it. "The following day another performance was given at mid-day that wns oven moro wondorful. Tho giant, as I called him, caused tho audience to sit on a grass plat, leaving a circlo of about twenty-five foot across, and in this the jugglers took their places, lhe giunt opening tho ontcrtuininont by tnking a roll of ribbon, nnd by a dexterous toss sending it up fifty feet or so, whero wo distinctly snw u small hawk dart at it and carry it up highor until we nearly lost sight of it. It tltcn soomed tu enter u cloud tlmt, I assumed, was caused by something burning on tho ribbon; but from tho cloud camo sliding down, first a dug, then a snake—a good big une, too— thut wriggled off tho moment it touched tho ground and was captured by tho men. Then a larger object was soon sliding nlong and one of the women leaping forward received and held it out to tlie crowd, a laughing native baby. Tho giant had all this tiino held tho end of.the ribbon, and rolonsing it it seemed to disappear in tho air; at any rate we saw it no more, A few mo* ments later they ull joined hunds and begun to move nbout rapidly. When they moved to the right I distinctly counted twelve persons in tho circle; when they changed the movement wo snw only eight nnd some uno appeared to be standing in tho center. "Theso nro only samples of tho marvels, as I might say, that thoy went through." Ho wins n Gondola. It was the first evening I wus in a gondolu, nnd, after admiring the skill and ease with which the gondolier manipulated his onr, I wus struck with tho idea of attempting tho font myself. Nothing looked easier than to iraitato thnt swarthy Italian, to stand up on the rear end of the gondola and dip tho oar in and out of the water, "You look tired," I said to the gondolier; "if you liko yuu may rest u while and I will row for you." Hud I tillered to stand on my bond nnd walk to Milan, tho mun cuuld not have luuked mope astonished, "Yuu, sigiiuro?" ho exclaimed; "why, you couldn't even learn to stand up here under two months !" "Pooh," said I, "I have rowed bouts on the Mississippi—from Memphis ns far as Hopefiald- Do you think I don't know how to work this lumbering thing on tho smoother waters of YenicaT' Tho gondolier smiled a vory unsatisfactory smile, "Ah, bueuo—good, aignore, I tako you where yon have nice swim, Sig* nore, you tako clothes oiF." This was consoling advice to a confident oarsman, nut very flattering to my pride; still I thought I might as well follow his ndvice. So he slowly paddled mo uver to thc lagoons between the cemetery ami Muruns. I divested myself of my clothing und prepared for a firat lesson in tho Venetian art of gondoliorinff. As I havo said, it looks to bo the easiest thing in the world. Tho gondolier stands at tho cxtromo ond of tho long, slim bont, und tho oar rests in an oarlock that stands up from tho deok a foot or eighteen inches. Thoro is nothing to hold the onr in the lock, but this I did not notice until I tried it myself. It stayed thero su quietly and pleasantly, us lung ns tho Italian was at the stern, thut the idea never entered my hend but thnt it belonged thoro und that it stayed thereof its own accord, Woful mistake! I hud scarcely taken position on the stem of tho bont and mnde my first stroke when the oar flow out uf that luok in a miraculous manner, thnt I am to this minute unable to understand, and I flow out oE tho bunt intu the water. Then it wns that I thanked that gondolier for hia timely warning and advice. The knapsack traveler does not carry Wfitli him n very extensive wardrobe, und, hnd I fallen into thu water with my cluthing on, I would have been in a very bud plight indeed. As it was, I swam around awhile, hnd n goud bath, then climbed intu the gondola aud tried it over again and witli tho same result. A third nnd fourth attempt proved no mure successful, and finally I came tu tlio conclusion thnt gondohering was nut as easy as it luuked, and so dressed myself and turned the onr ovor to tho proper hands. • Russia's Military Railways. Interesting particulars continue to arrive from Russia of tho progress of tho railway that is boing hurried on to tho new position Russia has acquired on tho Afghan frontier. Thu electric light huving broken duwn, owing to au accident to tho apparatus Bent, tho men aro working at night by tho aid of hundreds of lanterns und huge fires fed with petroleum refuse.
